I was amazed at the behavior of the car I exited my space in front of. They paused when the cars finally started moving, so I took my space in line. The driver of the car behind me tailgated me and flashed their high beams at me the whole way down to the exit. They failed to let even one car exit their parking space or file into line coming down from the upper level if it meant they were going to get in front of them. They were determined to be "first" although "first" was long since gone! How childish can you be? You set a horrible example for the child with you in the front seat of your car. We'were all just trying to accomplish the same thing - exit the parking lot and go home.
Thanks for ruining my evening and reminding me that not everyone is as courteous or thoughtful as they should be in such situations. I hope you accomplished whatever it was you were attempting to by harassing me the whiole way out of the parking garage. You should be embarassed and ashamed. "
